American filmmaker Sofia Coppola is responsible for some of Hollywood’s most memorable fashion moments – whether the glimpse of a discarded Converse boot among the otherwise Rococo stylings of Marie Antoinette, the girlish babydoll dresses of the Virgin Suicides, or the outré, label-heavy 2000s wardrobe of The Bling Ring, clothing has always been central to Coppola’s distinct directorial vision.
Coppola’s own wardrobe is also well-documented – her insouciant personal style is informed by her close relationships with designers and houses, most famously Marc Jacobs and Chanel – an expertise she brings to a new collaboration with historic Scottish knitwear brand Barrie. Revealed today (30 May 2023) and arriving in stores this November, the collaboration began with Coppola’s own love of Barrie’s cashmere pieces and offers ’the ideal wardrobe for work, travel, and leisure... [for a reflection of] Sofia’s own unique style.’
